Pamela Nomvete waves goodbye to Coronation Street

Coronation Street’s Pamela Nomvete is waving goodbye to her character Mandy Kamara after a year on the cobbles.

The actress joined the ITV soap in August last year as soap regular Lloyd Mullaney’s (Craig Charles) love interest. But she has now filmed her final scenes and will bow out of the show next month.

She announced the end of her time on Coronation Street by replying to a fan who had wished her a happy anniversary on the soap.

‘Which for me marks the end of my contract with Coronation Street. It has been a fun year, thank you,’ she tweeted in reply.

And soon fans were flooding her Twitter feed with warm messages and wishing her luck for the future.

‘Thank you for your support. It’s been great,’ she replied to one, confirming she was done and dusted on the show to another: ‘Yes I have finished filming. It was a pleasure being there, thank you so much for your appreciation.’

And her Corrie co-star Krissi Bohn – who plays her and Lloyd’s on-screen daughter Jenna – is missing her already.

She said on Wednesday: ‘I miss you @Pamelanomvete. Can’t believe it was only a year ago we met! #mummy #ineedcarluccios.’

‘Yes amazing, you are totally in my heart. Miss you too,’ Pamela replied.

A Coronation Street spokesperson said last night: ‘Pamela’s departure from the show is storyline-led and there’s nothing to say that Mandy won’t return to the Street in the future with familial ties remaining in Weatherfield.’
